My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

The token of our love shall be
a red stone shaped heart
he gave to me
I wear it round my neck
you see both night and day
he is with me
He placed it round my
long thin neck
one afternoon when we met
and he also promised me
forever his love I would be
This little heart of stone
is ours lasting through
the longest hours
when we are apart for years on years
and it is washed by many tears
there is no me, there is no he
a lovely twosome are we

Cant you see
I love you
Please dont break my heart in two
Thats not hard to do
cause I dont have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
cause I dont have a wooden heart
Theres no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
cause Im not made of wood
And I dont have a wooden heart
Muss I denn, muss I denn
Zum stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
Theres no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
cause I dont have a wooden heart

Muß i' denn, muß i' denn
Zum Städtele hinaus,
Städtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier
Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm',
Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm',
Kehr i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir
Kann i' glei' net allweil bei dir sei'
Han' i' doch mei' Freud' an dir
Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm',
Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm',
Kehr' i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir.
Wenn du weinst, wenn du weinst,
Daß i' wandere muß,
Wandere muß,
Wie wenn d'Lieb jetzt wär vorbei
Sind au' drauß, sind au' drauß,
Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel
Lieber Schatz, i' bleib dir treu.
Denk du nett wenn i' a and're seh
No sei mei Lieb' vorbei
Sind au' drauß, sind au' drauß,
Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel
Lieber Schatz, i' bleib dir treu.
Übers Jahr, übers Jahr,
Wenn mer Träubele schneidt,
Träubele schneidt,
Stell i' hier mi' wiedrum ei'
Bin i' dann, bin i' dann,
Dei' Schätzele no', Schätzele no'
So soll die Hochzeit sei.
Übers Jahr do ischt mei' Zeit vorbei
Bin i' dann, bin i' dann,
Dei' Schätzele no', Schätzele no'
So soll die Hochzeit sei.
Actually the original German has nothing to do with a wooden heart.
Have to go, Have to go,
Have to leave this town,
Leave this town
And you, my dear, stay here.
When I'm back, when I'm back
When I'm back again, back again,
On your doorstep I'll appear.
Tho' I can't be with you all the time
My thoughts are with you, my dear
When I'm back, when I'm back
When I'm back again, back again,
On your doorstep I'll appear.
Don't you cry, don't you cry,
'cause I have to go,
Have to go,
As if our love was now gone.
Tho' out there, tho' out there
Are so many girls, many girls,
I'll stay true to you alone.
Don't think when I see another girl
My love for you, it will be gone.
Tho' out there, tho' out there
Are so many girls, many girls,
I'll stay true to you alone.
In a year, in a year,
With grapes ripe on the vine,
Ripe on the vine,
Then, again it's here I'll be.
If by then, if by then,
I am still your beau, still your beau
We will wed, my bride you'll be.
In a year my time, it will be done
And then it is your's I will be.
If by then, if by then,
I am still your beau, still your beau,
We will wed, my bride you'll be.

Thank you Sam. It's still very pretty even if the translation is different.
It's late for me so I'll say goodnight here.

and he also promised me
forever his love I would be
My Promise
I will always remember the moment
Beneath October's gray sky
When she took from my hand a small present
Wrapped in white, and then she asked, "Why?"
"Darling, today is your birthday,"
I told her, now puffed up with pride
"And after the joy that we shared last night,
I want you to be my bride."
She opened the box and she kissed me
At the sight of what was inside
Diamonds and sapphires all in a row
My promise, where love does reside.
"Oh, sweetheart, it's lovely," she told me,
And she raised her left hand up to mine
I trembled as promise met true love's desire
And her love seemed to flow like sweet wine.
"With this ring, I thee wed," I then told her
And the smile on her face was sublime
After all we had shared it was natural
That a wedding should cap my love's rhyme.
But the ring that I gave her fared sadly
Love's promise was just not enough
To keep my life's love near, beside me
My companion when times got too tough.
Her perfect blue eyes now do wander
And my pain is more than I can bear
It stalks, the gray sky of October
Bringing winter to my sad heart's care.
I think of that ring, blue and shiny
With diamonds for children we'd share
But I'd change not a thing, for my promise
Stays with my life's lover, so fair.

OMG that is beautiful. I'll try to write a response, but I don't know that's good.
